Subject: [Boost-users] [BGL] Upper limits on graph size

Hi,
I am working on genome assembly software and hope that the BGL can save me
a lot of development time, but before I make the investment in learning
the library can somebody advise me on whether it is appropriate.

My initial test sets will be quite small. However in the end I will want
to scale up to on the order of a billion nodes, quite sparsely connected.
We have the RAM and many CPUs, but will the code scale up this far?

Thanks in advance,

Adam.
